Where Do We Stand

I Have been studying Computer Security for 2 years and i never really thought of this , but finally i asked the question to myself "What Should I call myself"? a Cracker? No Because i Respect the systems i penetrate.Lamer? No Because i do not get off on using punters or other ao progz , nor do i ask lame questions.Newbie?i dont think so , because ive been doing this for so long.Hacker?That Could be a possibility.
Sorry Everyone about all of this , My Mind is just Boggled on who i am and what i am , sorry if im being a pain in the ass.

How about a NERD, i'd rather be called that than a hacker,cracker,lamer, newbie or script kiddie

Who cares? Don't beat yourself up over such trival things.

I would have to say noobie. If I remember right a newie is a person that is trying to learn. Well if that is true I would have to say I am a noobie and I love it. But what does it matter what others call you. One person might call you one thing and yet another person call you something else. Just keep learning all that you can and never stop bettering your self and call your self what ever makes you feel good but at the same time make sure you live up to what you call your self. Don't clam to be a white hat when you are not. And never undergrade your self.

I'm going with the label of a responsible cyber-citizen, and God knows the world needs more of you and others like you. You seek understanding with no malicious intent....my hat is off to you!

Thank you allen i appreciate your willingness to appreciate me.

Hehe...I'm sorry...it's funny. :)

But yeah, as it has been pointed out, it doesn't really matter. In the end, names mean nothing - it's what's inside that counts.

(By that I mean what's inside your head - knowledge and skill...yeah...you get the point...hopefully)
